### Snipping Object

The Snipping object on the Object Bar puts PC-DMIS in a snipping mode. This object works with only the Custom Report Editor. In snipping mode, you can capture a section of your screen and insert it as an image into the Custom Report Editor.

To use the Snipping object and insert an image:

1. Click the Snipping object to enter snipping mode. The arrow of your pointer changes to a cross hair, and a semi-transparent white overlay covers the entire screen.

2. With your pointer, click and drag a box around the part of the screen you want in your report.

3. Release the mouse button to capture that part of the screen as an image. PC-DMIS inserts the image as an object with the name of Snipping1 into the Custom Report Editor. Additional captures are named Snipping2, Snipping 3, and so on.

The properties for the this object are described in the "Common Properties" topic.
